It's nearly impossible to complete middle school in the United States without reading the work of Mark Twain.
Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was born in 1835, and in his lifetime, saw our great nation evolve through westward expansion, industrialization and the end of slavery according to The Mark Twain House & Museum.
His novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and sequel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are among the most celebrated in American literature. In fact, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is even widely regarded as, "The Great American Novel."
His career took him all over the nation and the world, but he eventually settled in Redding, Connecticut following the death of his beloved wife in 1903.
In an effort to be close to family, Twain purchased a beautiful farmhouse for his youngest daughter Jean also in Redding, Connecticut.
Today, the house was just recently put on the market and its beauty is just as timeless as Twain's novels.
The charming farmhouse sits on a massive 18.7 acre property and is listed by William Raveis Luxury Properties.
The house itself was built in 1887, and the vast property it sits on was undoubtedly utilized as farmland for many years.
The house has a long colonial history, but the inside is restored and renovated to the liking of any modern Twain fan. Especially if they have good taste.
It's a perfectly blend of old-fashioned architecture and modern amenities.
In fact, the exposed beams are some of the only signs of the original home from 1787.
The rest of the inside of the house is designed to comfortably fit a single family who enjoys the rustic side of things.
The large home boasts 5 bedrooms, which is more than enough to fit a large family, and even have room left for guests too!
All rooms, including the bathroom feature amazing views of the rolling hills and green lush 18.7 acre property.
The property's barn, built in 1860 has a full apartment, as well as play room and gym.
Incase there is an artist in the family, there is even a separate studio with its own half bath.
Perhaps the most modern addition to the property is the salt water in ground pool, which gives residents even less of a reason to ever leave.
The $1,850,000 piece of history is available to anyone who can afford it!
